I guess it was because of my response to the question : "List all dependents?"
I replied -

"12 million illegal immigrants;
"3 million crack heads;
"42 million unemployable people on food stamps,
"2 million people in over 243 prisons;
"Half of Mexico ; and
"535 fools in the U.S. House and Senate.”

Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

Phone rings in the middle of the night. The husband picks up the receiver and after a brief pause responds in a gruff tone: "Hell how would I know thats two thousand miles away" and then abruptly slams down the receiver.

The wife asks: "Who was that?"

The husband replies in a sleepy tone: " I dunno. Somebody asking if the coast was clear."

On a bitterly cold winter's morning, a husband and wife were listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through. So the good wife went out and moved her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through." The good wife went out and moved her car again.
The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to14 inches of snow today. You must park...." and the electric power went out. The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowploughs can get through?"
Then with the love and understanding in his voice the husband replied, "Why don't you just leave the car in the garage this time."
